Window and conservatory specialists

Window and conservatory specialists can help you with the big jobs like the design, creation and build of your own bespoke conservatory right down to advice on how to clear your double glazing of condensation. Here, we've put together a few different tips on the things you may need a glazier or conservatory specialist for.

Glazing

Windows are essential for a bright, airy home and as they a part of the fabric of a building they need to be looked after and maintained properly.

Glazing comes in all sorts of styles and sizes - older houses may still have single glazing whereas new homes and any new glazing in an old home by law have to have double or secondary glazing. Double glazing helps to cut out noise from outside, helps keep burglars out and also insulates your home so you lose less heat and save money on your heating bills.

Windows for loft conversions

For loft conversions, a window specialist will probably recommend you have Velux windows installed which allows the light to flood in through the roof angle. If you're extending your loft then you may be able to get dormer windows installed which have the same effect.

Window repairs

Find a recommended window specialist to do your all your window repairs, maintenance and installation. Period homes may require window repairs. Sash windows may need to be re-corded so they open and close smoothly. Any timber window, even a hardwood window, may need rotten parts replaced.

Window maintenance

All timber windows periodically require resealing and repainting. Getting a glazier or window fitter to work on your house is hopefully a one-off job, so it's worth getting someone recommended. A recommendation of someone you can trust to do a good job is essential. SafeTrade can provide an up to date register of qualified recommended glaziers and conservatory installers.

Any window job can be done - whether it's reconditioning sash windows, glazing existing frames, carrying out window repairs or getting a window fitter to install a new velux window.
